Chapter 1
Growltiger just threw his youngest nephew on the ground, all wounded.
Munkustrap and Macavity hurried to Tugger side and helped him sitting up.
He coughed blood then lied into his brothers arms.
Old Deuteronomy walked between his sons and his mad brother.
Grizabella was hugging her daughter Tantomille and shivered against Jenny chest.
The orange tabby queen was holding the two queens and trying to comfort them.
Griddlebone was near them looking shocked to her own mate. Skimble was trying to shook her from that state, whispering something to her.
All the tribe and the jellicles were behind them, with Bombalaurina hugged tight to Demeter while her mate was bitten hard by their former protector and prince.
"Brother" said Old Deuteronomy "what are you doing?" he asked putting his paw in front of himself to calm the tom down.
"He disobeyed me" replied Growltiger pointing angrily Tugger.
"You ordered me to murder a innocent tom!" replied Tugger coughing.
Coricopat was a few steps away from him, still chained to the ground.
"He was attempting to your sister innocence" yelled Growltiger.
"He is her boyfriend, uncle" replied Munkustrap trying to make him reasoning.
"Did I or your father give the permission?" Growltiger asked.
"I don't need your permission!" cried Tantomille from her mother arms.
Growltiger looked angered at her. He moved a step towards her but Old Deuteronomy stopped him.
"Went away, Brother" Growltiger hissed the last word.
Munkustrap tensed.
"Quite, brother" replied Old Deuteronomy
"I don't want to be quite!" yelled Growltiger. He pushed hardly the old tom and made him fell.
Munkustrap jumped to help his father while Macavity blocked Growltiger with the help of Alonzo.
Skimble and Admetus ran to help Munkustrap with their old leader.
"Father" said Tugger managing to get up and approaching them.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
They all look in horror as Old Deuteronomy tried to stood up and suppressed a smirk of pain when he put his weight on his left leg.
Jenny and Grizabella hurried at his side and Jenny diagnosed a broken hip.
That wasn't good, neither for a long living jellicles. They could be quite immortal but they had to heal like everyone.
"So it seemed that a new era is beginning" said Growltiger.
He struggled with Macavity and Alonzo.
They didn't let him escape, so he whistled and a really army of henchmen jumped into the yard.
They looked...demoniac.
The demon like toms and queens giggled and chuckled while they approached.
Some rolled down from the walls and fell on their bottoms, still laughing mad.
Two grabbed the surprised Macavity and Alonzo and freed Growltiger.
"This, dears" said Growltiger "is the beginning of a new era for our people"
"In your dreams!" yelled both Munkustrap and Macavity.
The two oldest Growltiger' nephews jumped against him.
Tugger took his opportunity to jump too.
Growltiger fell under his three nephews wight.
But unfortunately for the tribe, fortunately for him they weren't able to kill their own uncle.
They were taken away from him by his henchmen.
"Let me go! Sort of demoniac rat!!" yelled Tugger struggling against his captor.
He hit the demoniac cat on his face with his elbow. The henchman twisted his eyes and fell on the ground.
Tugger was grabbed by another henchman. This last avoid Tugger elbow and sneered.
Soon he was hit by Tugger knee in his...most sensible part. He groaned and fell on the ground.
Four toms were necessary to retain Tugger. They made him on his kneels and grabbed his arms.
Five toms hold Munkustrap on the ground. He too had battled hard with his captors and three of them were laying on the ground lamenting.
"They don't seem so much resistant" whispered Jerry to Cori. He had just free him.
Cori smirked seeing Alonzo jumped away making two henchmen crashed.
"And neither much smart" he replied.
The two henchmen fell on the ground slowly, one against the other.
Three henchmen captured Alonzo and hold him in a iron grip.
All the tribe looked horrify as their three much stronger protectors were hold captives.
Macavity, Tantomille and Coricopat put themselves in front of Old Deuteronomy and Grizabella.
Gus was put in the center of the jellicles with Demeter and the kittens.
The Jellicles want to protected their more vulnerable ones.
All the other cats looked terrify seeing the Jellicles hissing impotent at their enemies. If also their shamans couldn't handle this situation...what kind of hope they could have? The common cats, the common humanoid like cats?
The evil leader laughed and walked towards Macavity and the twins. Griddlebone shivered but didn't dare to move from her position in front of the kittens.
He stopped a few steps away from the three.
All the present could see from their faces that a mental battle was going on between the four.
Then the evil tom chanted some strange spell and the three jellicles protectors fell on the ground, holding their throat and gasping for air.
"NO!" yelled Grizabella.
The cats looked as their Lady tried to ran towards her kittens, but was intercepted by two demoniac toms.
"Let them!" she cried.
Two other evil toms grabbed each Old Deuteronomy arms and hold him. The others jellicles were surrounded.
Skimble, Admetus, Jerry, Bombalaurina, Mungojerry and Plato were captured and put on their kneels.
Demeter grabbed the kittens and pushed them behind her, near the old cat. The Protector's mate shielded the kits with her body.
Her eyes met those of her mate, love and comfort ran between them.
Jenny, Jelly, Cassandra and the other remained Jellicles squeezed up to Demeter and Gus.
Eyes turned back to the three gasping Jellicles. The evil leader smiled and rose a paw.
He scratched the air in front of himself and the three could breath again.
But they were debilitated and they couldn't even sit up.
Jenny was divided between hurried at their side and protected the kittens.
"Stay with the kittens!" whispered Coricopat voice in her mind "we will survive"
"Growltiger ..." said Old Deuteronomy looking to his mad brother.
"What are you doing?" he asked
"It isn't oblivious, Old D?" he asked.
Tugger hissed at the nickname only friends used for his father.
Growltiger turned to look at him.
"I'm going to conquered the world" he replied as a everyday thing.
Everyone jaws felt.
"Oh my!" sighed Munkustrap
"It seemed that we had another babbling Iwanttoconquertheworld crazy boy!" exclaimed Jerry.
"Mac he took your vacant place!" he said to the half recovering ginger cat.
Macavity grinned at him.
"I had say you mustn't come back sane again!" added Misto from Gus feet among the other kittens.
Growltiger glared to Jerry and the tom couldn't speak.
"That's not fair!" Jerry yelled in everyone mind "Why me yes and Misto not?!"
"Shut up!" yelled Growltiger growling. Misto showed his tongue to Jerry.
"Oh!" said Growltiger when Jerry smirked but felt quite. For the moment.
Growltiger looked with an evil smirk to Misto.
"Thats a cute kit" he said. Misto backed into the kitten bunch.
Growltiger turned to Tugger.
"Nevertheless he's yours" he added. Then he walked towards him.
One henchman grabbed Tugger head fur base and pulled down.
Tugger was force to recline back his head, exposing his throat to the evil leader.
His mad uncle grinned evilly.
He rose his open paw and directed it towards Tugger' throat.
"No!" yelled again Grizabella, struggling with her the much more stronger captors.
Old Deuteronomy looked to his brother.
"Stop Growltiger!" he said "you aren't evil, I know you"
Growltiger stopped by an hair from Tugger.
"You haven't to do it" said Deuteronomy with calm and persuasion.
Growltiger paw trembled a bit but he shook his head.
"You don't know me" he whispered.
Then he grabbed Tugger throat and Tugger retrained a yell.
When his uncle backed, on Tugger throat there was a large red mark. A snake eating scorpion.
Growltiger mark.
Tugger body went almost limp into his captors grip.
Growltiger went towards Alonzo and smiled.
He repeated the same procedure on him and left the same mark on his white neck.
Alonzo fell limp into his captors arms.
Then Growltiger moved towards Munkustrap. He stopped in front of him.
Munkustrap looked up to him, fearless.
"And here we have the Jellicles Protector" he said stroking Munkustrap head fur.
Munkustrap snapped away from his touch.
Growltiger grabbed his fur and hold it.
"Your handsome, fearless and brave oldest son" he said to Old Deuteronomy.
He laughed and pull Munkustrap's head back. Growltiger grabbed his throat as before.
Munkustrap eyes went wide but none sounds escaped from his lips.
He collapsed back against the five henchmen.
Growltiger looked at them with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Take them into the largest den you could find" he ordered to his henchmen pointing to the jellicles.
"Err Sir" said one henchman, he seemed worried about something
"Yes?" replied Growltiger.
"Uh" said the henchman "what we do with the others?" he nodded towards the rest of the tribe.
Growltiger looked down to the crow as the jellicles were threw away.
"Everyone go to his handsome home and...." he gestured with his paw like he was searching for the right word "enjoy yourself!" he conclude, satisfied with his speech.
The crow just starred at him wide eyes.
"Now what?" asked Growltiger surprised "I said go home! You haven't an home?" he asked.
Someone nodded.
"So...Shoo!" said Growltiger "I have a much more important thing at the moment!" he made the gesture to brush them away.
While the crow began to disperse the henchmen looked at each others confused.
"Hei chief?!" called one of them.
"Call me Highness" replied Growltiger looking around.
"Err Highness" called the henchman.
"I mean Your Highness" hissed Growltiger.
"I-mean-Your-Highness what we..." said the henchman obediently.
Growltiger growled "Just Your Highness!" he yelled
"Just Your..." began the henchman.
"Oh just go on!" sighed Growltiger.
"What is the much more important thing?" the henchman asked.
Growltiger smiled.
"You have to make me a throne, an appropriate throne"
oook...that's is folk...I have more funny moments in my mind...you'll never guess where I could take our jellicles...
